The reorganization involved a recom- lendation to reduce the scope of the epartment of Plant Sciences and jange the title to the Department of lant Pathology and Microbiology. Gramm will begin his cam paign Thursday morning with a press conference at 8 a.m. at Easterwood Airport. Gramm said that since Sen. John Tower’s announcement four weeks ago of his intention to resign, he has been confer ring with Texas business, civic and political leaders about the possibility of seeking election to the Senate. Last week Gramm announced that a 37-member exploratory finance committee was formed to research the availability of funds for his cam paign. Gramm was an economics professor at Texas A&M until 1978, when he was first elected to the House of Representatives.

Plant sciences research ‘strengthened^ Agricultural programs revised Objectives of the changes, which went into effect the first of this month, are to strengthen basic research in plant scien ces, establish major research and teaching thrusts in plant molecular biolo gy, establish an organizational unit for plant pathology and build a more com plete and stronger teaching and research program in crop sciences. It is difficult to recognize other advan tages of the new program now, he said, because those involved are still busy with the details. Texas is third in the nation in agricul ture income, but until now has not had a separate department of plant pathology. The degree programs in plant physiol ogy are interdepartmental and are admi nistered by the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences. A plant physiology facul ty has been established and is chaired by Dr. Page Morgan. The genetics degrees continue to be interdepartmental programs adminis tered by the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. Dr. C.R. Benedict is the chairman of the genetics faculty. Some faculty members have been transferred from the Department of Plant Sciences to other biological science departments based on program needs. With few exceptions, the reassigned faculty and their staff still are in their present facilities in the Plant Sciences Building. The professors were very cooperative and determined to make it work, Dr. J. Artie Browning, professor and head of the Department of Plant Pathology, said.

Hayes Blackstock has been lined associate director for lish Camp ’84. Jim Currie, nne Smith, Kristi Soderman, eannah Reed, Scott Cummings nd Charles Williams were lamed assistant directors. “It (Fish Camp) is a rush rogram to get freshmen ready r Texas A&M,” Rosenfeld, a “I think it’s great for both the upperclassmen ind the freshmen,” he said. “It’s an opportun ity for them to meet a lot jof people and get ac- juainted on a social basis prior to the begin ning of school where vou are involved with the pressures of going to class and meeting a schedule.” :nior management major from _ -altimore, Md., said. “It’s to how them what A&M is all ab- lut and what A&M has to offer.” Fish Camp, which will cele brate its 30th year in 1984, is held hodist . rf .

Nabil Al-Khowaiter' The chairmen, subchairmen and counselors spend four days Tying to familiarize freshmen ith the University. Freshmen arrive on campus e morning of their camp and ire greeted by counselors, chair- nen and subchairmen. The next three days are filled with seminars on coping with campus life, study skills, roommate problems, student organiza tions, time management, history and traditions. Dances with other campers, person-to-person discussions, intramurals, and campfires are included in the activities. Fish Camp, sponsored by Student Y, is coordinated by stu dents. “I think it is a great orienta tion to becoming an Aggie aid ing in the transition for young people from high school into college life,” Dr. John J. Koldus III, vice president for student services, said. “I think it’s great for both the upperclassmen and the fresh men,” he said. “It’s an opportun ity for them to meet a lot of peo ple and get acquainted on a so cial basis prior to the beginning of school where you are involved with the pressures of going to class and meeting a schedule.” Director selection was the first step of a year-round process, Rosenfeld says. This is followed by chairman and subchairman selection and between these is a large amount of administration work. “Once I pick the directors we start getting most of the small stuff done,” he said. “We start ordering things like folders and luggage tags, start getting shirts ordered, start getting bids and start checking on buses and lug gage trucks. “We also start on chairman- subchairman applications and counselor applications,” he said. Chairman and subchairman applications will be available Nov. 28 and counselor applica tions will be available during the middle of the spring semester. About 120 people apply for the 32 chairman and subchari- man positions, Rosenfeld says, and 1,200 apply for the 576 counselor positions. Everyone who applies for Fish Camp must attend an inter view. “You need to have a complete dedication to Fish Camp,” Rosenfeld said. “I want someone who has their heart set on Fish Camp and their heart set on (helping) those freshmen.” Everyday prices at ISO are lower than most advertised "discount” prices Compare price, compare quality — you cannot beat the values on prescription eyewear at TSO.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Starring Maria Muldaur, October 23,1983 Winner of three Tony Awards, this band of fierce yet totally fallible swashbucklers is pursued by their former apprentice, who is honor bound to exter minate them.
